My Story

​

        Following high school, I attended Wilfrid Laurier University where I studied Kinesiology. While there, I volunteered as a student athletic therapist for their Men's Volleyball team, as well as their Men's and Women's Soccer teams.

       Deciding athletic therapy was not for me, I attended Durham College's Primary Care Paramedic Program. Following graduation I was offered a job with Peel Regional Paramedic Service, where I've been "on the road" for three years. 

        As a paramedic, I value providing stability during uncertain times. I've always enjoyed helping people, and this allows me utilize my science background to help people in times of need. I enjoy being part of something bigger than myself, being part of a team.

        Having always valued education, I decided to return to school to complete a Masters of Health Science at Athabasca University. This portfolio is part of the coursework, but also aids to establish a professional identity for myself. I hope to provide insights into paramedicine, as it is a very young profession, as well as how I fit into the progression of the field. 

         Following the completion of my Masters, I hope to complete another year long college program and become an Advance Care Paramedic.  

As a passionate and detail-oriented industry professional, I enjoy approaching complex scenarios with a holistic approach. A large part of my success while working with people stems from my ability to cultivate an intuitive understanding of their needs, and spearhead treatment from there.
